Is TCR mad to enter Supercars country?

Supercars has been the pinnacle of Australian motorsport for the last few decades, so bringing a new touring car formula - even one that's thriving around the world - into the country seems bold. What should we expect from TCR Australia?

Keen followers of Australian motorsport may remember the last time a V8 vs two-litre touring car battle played out on Aussie soil.

The Super Touring assault in the mid-1990s was a genuine ploy by the category that was thriving in Britain and elsewhere to become top dog down under too. It was ultimately unsuccessful, but disruptive enough to strip Supercars of its official Bathurst 1000 status for a couple of years.
